BRPS is including four video that were recorded during the full night investigation at TALA. The first two videos show flashlight sessions within separate sections of the building. The first video is a flashlight session that occurred in the Children's Ward. The second video is a flashlight session in the Men's Violent Ward, and it appears to be interaction with a spirit by the name Tom, who was involved murdering another inmate. (Note that Blue Ridge Paranormal Society was once Mid-Atlantic Paranormal Investigations (MPI) which is still referenced in the video titles.)
The third video describes a metallic banging sound as a response. The last video details the sound of a banging closet door.
The analysis of the audio files from the audio recorders is still ongoing. Any EVPs will be posted on this page soon.
